The song was performed at the Sanremo Music Festival in February 1986, at which it was first brought to fame. However, the song ended up in fifteenth place out of 22 competing performances in the Big Artists section after the final voting.[3][4] "Innamoratissimo" was targeted by critics, but the duo were praised after their performance, regarding their lack of knowledge in staging big performances.[5]

Release

edit

The original version of "Innamoratissimo" was released early in 1986 on the CGD label and featured "Gli parlerò di te" as the B-side, which was featured on the A-side of Righeira's debut album Righeira, released in September 1983.[6] By April 1986, "Innamoratissimo" had become a popular single in Italy.[7] CGD issued Bambini Forever on 23 June 1986 with "Innamoratissimo" sequenced as the tenth track, following Rota's "Adelante".[8] In West Germany, "Innamoratissimo" was released on the Teldec label as a 12-inch single and featured "Innamoratissimo (The In Crowd Mix)", the same version as on Bambini Forever, as the A-side.[9]
